Seeing absolutely unusual dates on 'The Bachelorette' isn't uncommon -- if anything, it isn't a season without them. While the producers usually manage to conjure up something ridiculous, this time, Michelle Young's students got creative instead. With a farm date planned for the group, it was time for the men to get down and dirty, literally.

With Rick, Rodney, Nayte, Joe, Martin and Olu all set to take on farm chores, nothing could've prepared them for what came next.

When they planned the farm date, the kids weren't kidding around, seeing that the men had to milk cows, make butter, and even shovel manure. While Michelle tried to compare each of these activities to being in a relationship, fans found it bizarre as it made no real sense

"Okay, can we stop with pointless dates? Milking cows and throwing rocks and writing poems. Can they actually just DATE the girl? Maybe if we allowed legit dating, people wouldn't call off engagements and go back to people they sent home week 2. #TheBachelorette" tweeted a fan. "Nobody : 
Michelle : “a relationship is a lot like churning butter” #TheBachelorette #TheBacheloretteABC #BachelorNation #bachelorette #BacheloretteABC" tweeted a fan. "Rodney is best friend material. Joe is steadfast love and a private life. Nayte needs way too much attention. Martin is fake AF. Olu is a sweet gentle giant. And the rest aren't even memorable. #teammichelleandjoe #TheBachelorette" added another.



 



 



 

 While Nayte got competitive with Joe, Rodney was determined to keep him on track, as he relentlessly flirted with Michelle. Seeing this, he stepped up his own game and was pretty successful when it came to making her laugh -- turns out, the two even had their own handshake. Rodney has quickly turned himself into a fan favourite and fans hope he finds the happiness he deserves. If not with Michelle, on his own season!

"Rodney needs his own season #TheBachelorette" tweeted a fan. "Okay but Rodney and Michelle's handshake  #TheBachelorette" added another. "imagine rodney being bachelor and creating a new handshake with each girl on the first night #TheBachelorette" added a fan. "@BacheloretteABC Y'all have a "torture Rodney" thing, don't you? Like, watching Rodney be humiliated is your new kink, isn't it? You can tell me the truth. I won't say anything. #TheBachelorette #bachelorette" joked another.
